TO THE EDITOR A POLITICAL CANARD Misuse and Abuse of Australia's Glorious Ide^l: — White Australia Sir, — Mr W. M. Fleming', Country Party Candidate, in his (apologies for) political speeches delivered in Gundagai to date consistently drags into the mire the White Australia policy, the accepted ideal of every patriotic and loyal Australian. The Sydney 'Sun,' in its leader on August 28, 1928, says: 'There j are not lacking signs that' the White Australia policy is to be used as an election issue. On the one side it has already been stated that the i.dea of a White Australia was originally promulgated by Labor, and that the wicked Nationalists would welcome an. influx of cheap Asiatic labor. On the other side, it will be agreed that the Labor Party is led by gentlemen who, in their Pan-Pacific enthusiasm, would let in the black and Asiatic : brother as a gesture olf' equality, liberty and fraternity. The intelligent and honest Aust ralian elector will say of these state ments that nei...

CHURCH CHATTER fliminitMitimiitiiiiiiitimiiiitMiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiintiiiiimiimm The Rev. S. G. Davis conducted a children's 'Flower Service' at Coolac on Sunday afternoon, when about a score of young folk, bearing beautiful bouquets, attended church with their elders. The Rev. Davis made a dis tinct impression with his thoughtful address to the children on the dev elopment .of character — taking his text from St. Paul's letter to the people of Phillipi; urging the con sideration only of _ pure, honest and truthful matters, so as to exclude evil from their minds. He also im pressed them to 'consider the lillies, how they grow.' Character, like the beauty of the flowers, must all be built up from the inside, and could not be faked. After the service the blooms, with a few other gifts, were donated to the District Hospital. The children's portion of the service was organised by Miss McLeod, whose services as organist are much ap preciated also. Yesterday was Trafalgar Day, and at the even...

SPEED MERCHANTS * SPIN j OVER RECORD RUN FROM PERTH NIGH ENDS IN DISASTER Sunday, 14th. October, was a mem orable day for two flighty, motor cyclists from Western Australia. Their name is Cook, and their 'goose' was nearly cooked on a cure near Willie Ploma, where they met a single-seater Buick buzzing hurriedly around a bend . The Cook brothers were aboard an A.J.S. mo tor bike and side-car, and were in tent on lowering the Perth to Sydney speed record. The Buick car bored them out at the curve so that they shot over the embankment and es caped with ? their lives by a miracle. E. M. Cooke, jnr., the rider, sustained a, badly burnt leg where the hot en- ; gine laid on him ; and the brother, M. Cook, received extensive lacer ations and injured knee. The mach ine was badly knocked about, but was stilli capable of running, after a fashion. The cyclists were four hours ahead of time when the ac S cident occurred, and after getting | temporary repairs to their machine at Gundagai Motor W...

TWO TALKERS. AND A COLD WIND Tuesday night, with frosty wind flittering along the jdeserted frontages of Sheridan street, two politicians faced frigid meetings there. Senator Josiah Thomas talked in the Gundabidgtee Theatre, and particu larly emphasised the fact that he is a candidate for the Senate as well as asking support for Mr. J. Garry, the Nationalist candidate for the House of Representatives. Mr. Thomas also emphasised that folk who split their vote betweeen Nationalist and Labor senators were really vot ing against the Nationalists. He .re viewed the working of the Bruce Page Government over the past three years, and said that the big question again was one of the maintenance of law and order', and a 'direct ac tion' minority rule. He defended the Transport Bill, as means of pur ifying and strengthening trades un ionism, which at present had a ten dency to forget it owed a duty to the employer and the public as well as the worker. Frank Anstey urged the strikers to return ...

' UllltllllllltlllllllMISIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIUIIIIIIIIItllHIIIttlllllllllK ^ TO THE EDITOR. Sir, Mr. Jim Gardner evidently does not agree with the wise old adage that abuse is no argument. The facts in regard to the danger that exists for the great ideal of White Australia are easily set forth. In 1923 the Dictator of Bolshe vick Russia issued an Official bulletin reading: — 'The Australian Commun ist Party must now concentrate all its energy to win a decisive majority in the Trade Unions. I, therefore, deliberately advise -he Australian Communist Party to join the State Labor Parties and the Federal Labor Party.' Mr. Jock Garden, Secretary of the N. S. W. Trades and Labor Council attended a conference of the Third Internationale of Red Trades Unions hel.d at Moscow, and the cabled report of his speech says: — 'We found that by directin...

USEFUL .HINTS Chamois leather should be wash ed in warm water in which a pinch of baking soda has been dissolved. In thist way the leather's softness, which is often lost in the process of washing, is retained. Sage and onion mixed with an ap wicu diiu jjaicu it- tut: ucat bciuue ffor roast pork. You can ' salt one half of a small leg of pork, and boil it and serve it with a good pease pudding, and roast the other half. So it is quite 'an economy to buy a fairly large log of pork, though not a big one, as a large leg of pork is usually rather coarse in the meat. * ? m Don't buy the very least of every thing 'used daily in the houso. It means a lot of running out to shop, and the things cost more in the end. Try to have a store cupboard, though it is small, and stock as much as you can afford to buy.

BALL-BEARINGS FOR BEAR iitimtiiiiitiiiiiiiimiisiiiimiiiiitiiiimmiitiiiiiiiisiiiiiuitiiiit Having no rifle, and fearing the shot he had would not do the work at hand, Joe Arnold, a Virginian (U.S.A.) settler, removed the lead pellets from a powdered shell, and in serted ball-bearings from his old 'Lizzie.' Thus equipped, he went forth to give battle to a bear that had been killing his sheep. Arnold wounded the bear with the first, shot, and then brought it down with a ball-bearing through the heart.
